Cardio: Valvular insufficiencies Flashcards
concentric hypertrophy
aortic stenosis
Diastole sounds
S2 to S1 (Dub to lub)
stenosis
valve doesn’t open like it should
opening snap and progression of mitral stenosis
as it progresses it closer and closer to the second heart sound
Ejection - valves
Mitral closed, aortic open
most commonly heard murmur
holosystolic
what causes heart sounds
acceleration and deceleration of blood
Splitting of the second heart sound
inspiration slows pulmonic closure - we can percieve it as two sounds rather than one
Noise
unreated frequencies (eg: heart sounds) - no relationship between fundamental frequency and overtones
aortic area
right of sternum (left outflow track sounds are on the right)
what is the main cause of low viscosity in patients
anemia- low red cell concentration
pulmonary area
left of sternum in 3rd interspace (right outflow sounds are on the left of sternum)
Systole sounds
S1 to S2 (Lub to dub)
how do we normally hear 3rd and 4th Heart sound
with amplification - if we can hear them otherwise it ususally means something is wrong
Murmus in mitral stenosis
Opening sound, Early Diastolic murmur, Presystolic murmur
Separation Requirement
Must be by more than 25 msec to be perceived as two sounds (splitting of the second heart sound)
Aortic insufficiency
Diastolic lesion (heard in diastole) Eccentric hypertrophy (volume overload - heart pumps twice as much as normal)
Reynold Number
how we identify the liklihood of turbulence occuring (Re > 2000 = turbulence and murmurs )
Pulse and heart sounds
Upswing in pulse = Lub
2nd heart sound
aortic and pulmonic closure - can split (pulmonic is after aortic)
Filling - valves
aortic closed, mitral open
Tones
integral harmonics - related
insuffiecincy
doesn’t close like it should
Collapsing pulse (water-hammer)
some blood goes back across the valve . Rapid diastolic run off, ejection against low preload (jerky pulse - full and then collapses, full and then collapses)
